Review: This keyboard is amazing for the price!! - I bought the RK61 in white and just received it in under 2 days, the keyboard has an amazing look and feel and it’s very sturdy. As for the sound of the switches, I purchased the RK61 with the red switches, these sound very similar if not BETTER than cherry mx reds, this really shocked me. Unfortunately the outer area of the keyboard is built with plastic and no sign of steal or aluminium is seen as my previous keyboard, however for only €60 it’s a complete steal. The software is a bit annoying and finicky to set up but apart from that my purchase was 100% worth it. I URGE you to buy this keyboard if you are looking for a cheap, low response time, 60% gaming keyboard. Even though it is 60% the size of a regular keyboard, it maintains all the normal keyboard features. You can use keys like “insert” and “home” by holding down the new “FN” key along with shift and enter. This keyboard is amazing and 100% worth it to any avid gamer! 10/10 to Royal Kludge and 10/10 To desertcart’s shipping service.
Review: For the money, great keyboard! - I've bought a couple now for my kids. For the price, they are great. Yes, you'll have to learn all the shortcuts for changing colours and definitely the one for resetting it, as you often change the key layout layer accidentally. Button presses don't sound horrible and it has decent response time. Don't expect much from the software though. A Wooting, this is not :)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ good keyboard
*by G***W on 22 January 2025*

ive used it for a few months now and changed the switches, to some akko flamingos. the red switch was nice but i didnt like them, its still a really good deal. the main thing is the software doesn't work at all.
